by persons (including children) with reduced physical,
sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and
knowledge, unless they have been given supervision
or instruction concerning the use of the appliance by a
person responsible for their safety.
OPERATING ENVIRONMENT
NEVER use your generator indoors. Your generator
produces deadly carbon monoxide and this is harmful
and can caused death. Only use your generator in well
ventilated areas like the outdoors. Do not expose your
generator to rain or use in damp or wet locations. Do
not expose your generator to direct sunlight. Keep the
work area well lit. Do not use your generator in areas
where there is a risk of explosion or fire from combustible
materials, flammable liquids, paint, varnish, petrol, etc
flammable gases and dust of an explosive nature. As a
precaution it is recommended that you consult an expert
on selecting and using a suitable fire extinguisher and
have it available for use in an emergency when operating
the generator.
GUARD AGAINST ELECTRIC SHOCK
Never touch the generator with wet or damp hands as
electric shock may occur. Always ensure your generator
is connected to ground, i.e. Earthed with the supplied
earth stake, see page 11.
BEWARE OF CHILDREN & PETS
Children and pets should be kept out of the operating
area. Children should not be allowed to touch or operate
generators or touch extension cords. All generators
should be kept out of reach of children. When NOT in
use keep the generator preferably stored or locked in a
secure well ventilated cabinet or room with the fuel tank
empty.
SELECT A GENERATOR WITH A SUFFICIENT RATING
Select the right generator for the job. Do not use a
generator to do a job for which it was not designed. Do
not force a small generator to do the job of a heavy duty
generator. Any damage caused by overloading will void the
warranty. Do not use generators for purposes not intended.
PROTECT POWER LEADS FROM DAMAGE
Always disconnect power cords from a power supply
socket by pulling the plug. Never pull on the cord.
Keep the power lead away from heat, oil, solvents and
sharp edges. If a power lead becomes damaged have it
replaced by an authorised service facility.

area immediately with soap and water and change your
clothes. If you get fuel in your eyes wash immediately
with clean water and seek medical attention. If any fuel
is swallowed DO NOT induce vomiting, seek immediate
medical attention.
HOT COMPONENTS
Beware many of the components will get hot during use.
Never touch any of the metal pipes, pump or motor as
these may burn.
MAINTAIN YOUR GENERATOR WITH CARE
When not using your generator ensure the fuel cock is
‘OFF’. Never leave the fuel cock ‘ON’ as this can damage
the carburettor. Follow the instructions for lubricating and
changing accessories. Keep handles clean, dry and free
